Silent Guitar Scratch build ideas

Now that's how you get even clamping force on a body blank! What the rating on the press?!

100 tonne!!! Hopefully I haven't over done it, and still applied enough glue.
Considering the veneers are 2mm thick each, glue spots should not be an issue, and as mentioned, paint is still an option if all else fails.

Now that's a 'massive' build

Thanks Kick, most appreciated. I just hope things work out ok!

now that is a press...

I think I've surprised myself!
This might actually work out alright!
I'm still a bit iffy about the amount of glue on the body. Luckily, this will be the easiest and cheapest part to replace if things go pear-shaped.
Stupidly, I took the glue home with me last night, so now I can't glue the two halves of the body together!!
Anyway, I can take the neck home over the weekend and start shaping it out roughly. Hopefully the glue spread is all good, and there's no unseen cavities that present themselves when I start drilling out the interior!

I love it, its the 100 Tonne acoustic!

Just keep pressing-on.

I'm impressed

Do you ever play songs by Squeeze?
